Product details
Overview
IRFR3709ZPBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 6.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, and 17 nC total gate charge. It delivers high-efficiency synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters for server CPU VRMs and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3709ZPBF datasheet, IRFR3709ZPBF pinout, IRFR3709ZPBF application, or IRFR3709ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V drive, fully characterized avalanche capability, low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio for Cdv/dt immunity, and optimized body diode recovery (Qrr = 25–37 nC, trr = 29–44 ns).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gated silicon process to achieve sub-7 mΩ on-resistance with 17 nC total gate charge at 4.5 V, enabling efficient operation in 300–1000 kHz synchronous buck topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (1.35–2.25 V) and negative temperature coefficient of VGS(th) (−5.6 mV/°C) support stable parallel operation under thermal stress.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with 86 A continuous source current rating and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 37 nC max), minimizing shoot-through risk in hard-switched synchronous FET positions. Avalanche energy rating (EAS = 450 mJ @ TJ = 25°C) supports unclamped inductive switching reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V and 24 V input DC-DC stages |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 6.5 mΩ max - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 12 A RMS in VRM output stage |
| Qg | 17 nC typ - Low gate drive power requirement for high-frequency PWM control |
| Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | ~1.2 - Minimizes Cdv/dt-induced turn-on risk in high-dV/dt switching nodes |
| trr | 29–44 ns - Fast body diode recovery reduces cross-conduction losses in synchronous rectification |
| RθJC | 1.9 °C/W - Enables >60 W power dissipation with moderate heatsinking in D-Pak footprint |
Pinout & Package
IRFR3709ZPBF uses the industry-standard D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical performance. The three-terminal configuration supports high-current PCB routing and low-inductance layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to exposed copper pad; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal management |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-impedance return path; used for Kelvin-source sensing in precision current monitoring |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <17 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD and dV/dt coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 6.5 mΩ enables high-efficiency operation directly from 5 V or 3.3 V gate drivers without level-shifting |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 450 mJ single-pulse EAS rating verified per JEDEC JESD24-1, supporting robustness in transient overloads |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 37 nC max and trr = 44 ns enable reliable synchronous rectification without external Schottky assist |
| Low gate-to-drain charge ratio | Qgd/Qgs1 ≈ 1.2 reduces susceptibility to Miller-induced turn-on in high-dV/dt environments |
Applications
| Server CPU Voltage Regulator Modules | Telecom 48 V Input DC-DC Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3709ZPBF | Same die, I-Pak (TO-220AB) package; higher RθJA (110 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W) | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or lower-frequency designs where thermal mass compensates for lower efficiency | Select when mechanical mounting constraints require leaded package or when board-level heatsinking is impractical |
| SiR872DP-T1-GE3 | 60 V rating, 5.2 mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5 V, 22 nC Qg; trench-Si MOSFET with enhanced SOA | Higher voltage margin supports 48 V industrial inputs; higher Qg increases gate drive loss above 500 kHz | Choose for 36–60 V input systems needing extended avalanche margin and tighter RDS(on) tolerance |
Compared with IRFR3709ZPBF, IRLR3709ZPBF trades surface-mount compatibility for easier thermal testing, while SiR872DP offers higher voltage headroom and lower on-resistance but requires higher gate drive energy-making IRFR3709ZPBF optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency 30 V synchronous rectifiers.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFR3709ZPBF supports 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value is derated linearly from 86 A at 25°C using the 0.53 W/°C derating factor, ensuring safe operation under sustained thermal load in compact power modules.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability in high-frequency switching?
Yes-a 5–10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and gate capacitance interaction. The device's low Qgd (5.7 nC) and Ciss (2330 pF) make it susceptible to oscillation without proper gate drive impedance control, especially above 500 kHz.
Can IRFR3709ZPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and matched VGS(th) (1.35–2.25 V) enable stable current sharing across paralleled units. Layout symmetry, Kelvin source connections, and individual gate resistors are required to ensure balanced dynamic turn-on and thermal distribution.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in hard-switched topologies?
Yes-the body diode is fully characterized with trr = 29–44 ns and Qrr = 25–37 nC at IF = 12 A, making it viable for hard-switched synchronous rectification. However, for ZVS or resonant topologies, pairing with a fast external Schottky may further reduce recovery loss.
